If you haven't signed up for the 48 Hour Book Challenge, head on over to MotherReader's place and sign up. Be sure to read the directions so that you will be ready to go when Friday rolls around. As incredibly tired as I am, I'm going to try and muddle through, so you should join us. You can do it!
In my quest to line up books to read, I have decided to open the comment lines for your input.

ReplyDeleteI'll look through my library collection to see if there are some books I'd recommend.
I figured you'd be tired upon your return home.
